Ṛgveda Saṃhitā 10.116

पिबा सोमम् महत इन्द्रियाय पिबा वृत्राय हन्तवे शविष्ठ । पिब राये शवसे हूयमानः पिब मध्वस् तृपद् इन्द्रा वृषस्व ॥

pibā somam mahata indriyāya pibā vṛtrāya hantave śaviṣṭha | piba rāye śavase hūyamānaḥ piba madhvas tṛpad indrā vṛṣasva ||

Drink Soma juice for mighty power and vigour, drink, Strongest One, that thou mayst smite down Vrtra. Drink thou, invoked, for strength, and riches: drink thou thy fill of meath and pour it down, O Indra.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अस्य पिब क्षुमतः प्रस्थितस्येन्द्र सोमस्य वरम् आ सुतस्य । स्वस्तिदा मनसा मादयस्वार्वाचीनो रेवते सौभगाय ॥

asya piba kṣumataḥ prasthitasyendra somasya varam ā sutasya | svastidā manasā mādayasvārvācīno revate saubhagāya ||

Drink of the foodful juice stirred into motion, drink what thou choosest of the flowing Soma. Giver of weal, be joyful in thy spirit, and turn thee hitherward to bless and prosper.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

ममत्तु त्वा दिव्यः सोम इन्द्र ममत्तु यः सूयते पार्थिवेषु । ममत्तु येन वरिवश् चकर्थ ममत्तु येन निरिणासि शत्रून् ॥

mamattu tvā divyaḥ soma indra mamattu yaḥ sūyate pārthiveṣu | mamattu yena varivaś cakartha mamattu yena niriṇāsi śatrūn ||

Let heavenly Soma gladden thee, O Indra, let that effused among mankind delight thee. Rejoice in that whereby thou gavest freedom, and that whereby thou conquerest thy foemen.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

आ द्विबर्हा अमिनो यात्व् इन्द्रो वृषा हरिभ्याम् परिषिक्तम् अन्धः । गव्य् आ सुतस्य प्रभृतस्य मध्वः सत्रा खेदाम् अरुशहा वृषस्व ॥

ā dvibarhā amino yātv indro vṛṣā haribhyām pariṣiktam andhaḥ | gavy ā sutasya prabhṛtasya madhvaḥ satrā khedām aruśahā vṛṣasva ||

Let Indra come, impetuous, doubly mighty, to the poured juice, the Bull, with two Bay Coursers. With juices pressed in milk, with meath presented, glut evermore thy bolt, O Foe-destroyer.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

नि तिग्मानि भ्राशयन् भ्राश्यान्य् अव स्थिरा तनुहि यातुजूनाम् । उग्राय ते सहो बलं ददामि प्रतीत्या शत्रून् विगदेषु वृश्च ॥

ni tigmāni bhrāśayan bhrāśyāny ava sthirā tanuhi yātujūnām | ugrāya te saho balaṃ dadāmi pratītyā śatrūn vigadeṣu vṛśca ||

Dash down, outflaming their sharp flaming weapons, the strong-holds of the men urged on by demons. I give thee, Mighty One, great strength and conquest: go, meet thy foes and rend them in the battle.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

व्य् अर्य इन्द्र तनुहि श्रवांस्य् ओज स्थिरेव धन्वनो ऽभिमातीः । अस्मद्र्यग् वावृधानः सहोभिर् अनिभृष्टस् तन्वं वावृधस्व ॥

vy arya indra tanuhi śravāṃsy oja sthireva dhanvano 'bhimātīḥ | asmadryag vāvṛdhānaḥ sahobhir anibhṛṣṭas tanvaṃ vāvṛdhasva ||

Extend afar the votary's fame and glory, as the firm archer's strength drives off the foeman. Ranged on our side, grown strong in might that conquers, never defeated, still increase thy body.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

इदं हविर् मघवन् तुभ्यं रातम् प्रति सम्राळ् अहृणानो गृभाय । तुभ्यं सुतो मघवन् तुभ्यम् पक्वो ऽद्धीन्द्र पिब च प्रस्थितस्य ॥

idaṃ havir maghavan tubhyaṃ rātam prati samrāḷ ahṛṇāno gṛbhāya | tubhyaṃ suto maghavan tubhyam pakvo 'ddhīndra piba ca prasthitasya ||

To thee have we presented this oblation: accept it, Sovran Ruler, free from anger. Juice, Maghavan, for thee is pressed and ripened: eat, Indra, drink of that which stirs to meet thee.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

अद्धीद् इन्द्र प्रस्थितेमा हवींषि चनो दधिष्व पचतोत सोमम् । प्रयस्वन्तः प्रति हर्यामसि त्वा सत्याः सन्तु यजमानस्य कामाः ॥

addhīd indra prasthitemā havīṃṣi cano dadhiṣva pacatota somam | prayasvantaḥ prati haryāmasi tvā satyāḥ santu yajamānasya kāmāḥ ||

Eat, Indra, these oblations which approach thee: be pleased with food made ready and with Soma. With entertainment we receive thee friendly: effectual be the sacrificer's wishes.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)

प्रेन्द्राग्निभ्यां सुवचस्याम् इयर्मि सिन्धाव् इव प्रेरयं नावम् अर्कैः । अया इव परि चरन्ति देवा ये अस्मभ्यं धनदा उद्भिदश् च ॥

prendrāgnibhyāṃ suvacasyām iyarmi sindhāv iva prerayaṃ nāvam arkaiḥ | ayā iva pari caranti devā ye asmabhyaṃ dhanadā udbhidaś ca ||

I send sweet speech to Indra and to Agni: with hymns I speed it like a boat through waters. Even thus, the Gods seem moving round about me, the fountains and bestowers of our riches.

Translated by Ralph T. H. Griffith (1896)
